SAN ANTONIO – Award-winning, stand-up comedian and best-selling author Kathy Griffin can add Guinness World Records to her list of achievements, and San Antonio was right in the middle of it.

Griffin, who performed two shows at the Majestic Theatre on Sunday for an upcoming Bravo TV comedy special, received official recognition for most stand-up specials by a comedian.

She's made 19 to date, far surpassing George Carlin's 14 for HBO. Her San Antonio appearance — which will feature an image of the Alamo as a backdrop — is set to air in mid-December.

“This one tonight, when it airs will be 20 (expletive),” Griffin said. “And they said chicks ain't funny.”

Last week in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News, Griffin said she was truly honored by the award — and to be mentioned in the same breath as a legend like Carlin.

Carlin, who died in June 2008, was irreverent about such milestones, said his longtime girlfriend. He viewed them “with the same attitude we shared for most things,” said Sally Wade in an email. “We were the first to leave and the last to show up, ... but he would be happy for her.”

Carlin publicist and friend Jeff Abraham agreed, adding that Carlin's legend is more than numbers.

“Records will always be broken whether it be the number of stand-up specials or home runs in a lifetime, but remember a person's legacy, impact can't be taken away by someone else,” said Abraham in an email.

“George Carlin summed it up best, 'I know when they write the history of comedy, I'm good for a paragraph. I know they include me.'”

And now, they'll include Griffin. Sunday, indeed, was her night with two virtually sold-out shows, the second topping 2,200.Her fans loved it from top to bottom.

“She's loud and obnoxious,” said fan Gabriel Luna before the first show. “Just like me.”

Griffin, dressed in a sequined black dress, thrilled her fans with an edgy, nonstop, trash-talking, often outrageous celebrity-obsessed act. Texas was on her mind.

“Wave to Gov. Rick Perry,” she joked while making an obscene gesture. “I will be making fun of Gov. Rick Perry. I'm getting an abortion right now.”

Texas made it into her act in other ways. She praised some of the food she'd eaten at a gas station during her tour of the state that included stops in Austin and Houston.
